Selecting n Cow.

A model useful dairy COW may be
known at a glance by an expert. She
has fine, long head, broad between the
eyes, and thin, wide muzzle; the eyes
are large, and of a mild expression; the
neck is thin and long; the ears are thin,
and covered within with deep yellow
skin; the forequarters are light and thin,
and the whole body has much the shape
of wedge, increasing in size to the rear;
the legs are thin, with fine bone; the
belly is large and deep, with great ca
pacity for food; the back is broad and
straight, and the ribs are well rounded
toward the rear; the bones of the rump
are wide apart; the tail is long and thin;
the thighs are thin and are set widely
apart; the udder is large and full, es-
pecially behind; the teats are of good
size, and set far apart upon a broad,
level udder, and the milk-vein, so-called,
which is the large vein leading from the
udder and passing into the abdomen,
and which is an indication of the amount
of blood circulating through the milk
glands, and contributing to the milk Sc
cretion, should be full and tortuous in its
short couse. A fine horn, a deep, yellow
skin, and a general elegance of form,
without any heaviness or beefiness in any
part, are also important indications of
good quality in COW for the dairy

Benefits Of an Erect Attitude.

An erect bodily attitude is of vastly
more importance to health than most
people generally imagine. Crooked
bodily positions, maintained for any
length of time, are always injurious
whether in the sitting, standing or lying
posture, whether sleeping or walking,
To sit with the body leaning forward on
the stomach, or to one side, with the
heels elevated on level with the hands,
is not only in bad taste, but exceedingly
detrimental to health; it cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs, inter
rupts the free motion of the chest, and
enfeebles the functions of the abdominal
ana thoracic organs, and, in fact, un-
balances the whole muscular system.
Many children become slightly hump
backed or severely round-shouldered by
sleeping with the head raised on high
pillow. When any person finds it easier
to sit or stand or walk or sleep in a
crooked position than a straight one
such person may be sure his muscular
system is badly deranged, and the more
careful he is to preserve a straight or up
right position, and get back again, the
better. Peoples Health Journal.

The Mint of the United States was es-

The style or point of bone or metal
which was used for writing on tables
coated with wax gave place to the reed,
pointed and split, and used as pen with
some colored liquids. The use of quills
followed, the first to employ the later, so
far as we have any record, being Isidore,
who died in 636. Steel pens made their
appearance early in the present century,
and for the idea to which they owe their
existence we are indebted to William
Gadbury, mathematical instrument
maker, who constructed pen from two
pieces of steel watch spring.

Horse Thieves in New York.

"The public would be astonished to
learn exactly how much horse stealing
goes on in New York, " remarked prom
inent livery man to me. "Now and then
you read an account of some case in the
papers. Cases that don't get into the
papers are numberless. There is scarcely
a week that we do not have to set de-
tective hunting cabbaged turnout.
We take every possible precaution in the
letting of vehicles, and rarely lose any
thing by that means. But if turnout
is left alone in the street it is always
liable to be snapped up by some reckless
thief and driven off. 1t may be taken
out of town. Often it will be sold here.
Sometimes the rig will be broken up
the horse sold to one person, the wagon
to another and the harness to still
another. Such is the stupidity of the
thieves, however, that we rarely fail to
recover the property.
"A curious case in point occurred this
week. Last Wednesday a gentleman
hired horse and buggy from a stable in
Washington street to drive to Westches-
ter. He stopped by the way within a
few blocks of the stable to call on a
friend and left the horse hitched at the
door A young tough came along and
took possession. He let the horse have
his own way, and the sagatious beast
walked right back to the stable it had
Just come from. The stableman was in
his Office when the thief walked in and
asked him if he didn't want to buy the
turnout. Certainly, said the stableman,
without turning a hair. sit down a
minute The young crook took seat
and waited till the policeman the owner
telephoned for came and arrested him.
When he discovered how he had been
fooled he wanted to kill the horse. -

An Absent-Minded Dominic.

One of the most absent-minded of men,
a most worthy minister of the Gospel
lived and died not long ago in astown
not far from Concord. He once called
on laby parishioner and invited her,
with Characteristic pOliteness, 10 go to
ride. She accepted gladly and 'fixed
up" only to find with the dominic when
they reached the door that he had made
his call on horseback, and that his chaise
was at his home half-dozen miles away.
The horse was often led to brook to
drink, One morning the loafers on the
piazza of the village store were DUN
founded to see the parson come out of the
barn with the halter dragging from his
hands folded behind his back, pass
slowly down to the brook, then turn and

back TO the barn where thirsty old Dob
